Sorry Ti-doms! You are exceptionally great in a lot of things, like discovering logic inconsistencies naturally and dealing with the deepness of the logic itself. However, not about explaining the thoughts in a simple and clear manner. It is actually a matter of preference anyways, mainly Ti-doms prefers and relies on the deepness of logic, instead of the simplification and applicability of it, which is more related to Te. Carl Jung wrote: Introverted Thinking Type 🧠) "In thinking out his problems to the utmost of his ability, he also complicates them, and constantly becomes entangled in every possible scruple" ~ Carl Jung, Psychological Types Ti loves the logic itself and its internal logical complexities, the focus on Ti is that. Te, on the other hand, uses the logic as an external tool aimed to a goal... well, the goal of a teacher is to make people understand it, so Te is naturally inclined to teaching. Ti is actually adverse in explaining their logic to others: Introverted Thinking Type 🧠) "When the time comes for him to transplant his ideas into the world, his is by no means the air of an anxious mother solicitous for her children's welfare; he merely exposes them, and is often extremely annoyed when they fail to thrive on their own account.", "If to his eyes his product appears subjectively correct and true, it must also be so in practice, and others have simply got to bow to its truth. Hardly ever will he go out of his way to win anyone's appreciation of it, especially if it be anyone of influence. And, when he brings himself to do so, he is usually so extremely maladroit that he merely achieves the opposite of his purpose. In his own special province, there are usually awkward experiences with his colleagues, since he never knows how to win their favour; as a rule he only succeeds in showing them how entirely superfluous they are to him." ~ Psychological Types ↑ As we can see, Ti does not focus on the understanding of others regarding his internal logic framework, others have simply got to bow to its truth. And more than that, when explaining about his logics, "he is usually so extremely maladroit that he merely achieves the opposite of his purpose" (Jung). I have a Ti user in my job that is exactly like that, we all know he is intelligent and highly capable, but somehow he is so in love with the subject and it's complexities that it gets in the way when explaining to others in a simple way. A lot of times after I understand what he is saying, I simplify it through Ne-Te ("analogies" + "simple logic") and people start to understand it. There are more: Introverted Thinking Type 🧠) "Either he is taciturn or he falls among people who cannot understand him; whereupon he proceeds to gather further proof of the unfathomable stupidity of man. If he should ever chance to be understood, he is credulously liable to overestimate." ~ Carl Jung, Psychological Types ↑ A Hard Time in making other people understand his complex thoughts. At this point we already have the answer that Ti users when teaching may have trouble making their thoughts be understood by other people, but turns like Carl Jung explicitly and clearly mentioned how Ti users encares teaching: Introverted Thinking Type 🧠) "He has little influence as a personal teacher, since the mentality of his pupils is strange to him. Besides, teaching has, at bottom, little interest for him, except when it accidentally provides him with a theoretical problem. He is a poor teacher, because while teaching his thought is engaged with the actual material, and will not be satisfied with its mere presentation." ~ Carl Jung, Psychological Type ↑ This is my Ti friends so much!! Specially the Ti doms. Their focus is to navigate through the deep logics of the subject instead of simplifying all the things up to make other people understand it. They care more about the subject, not more about people understanding it. Ti cares about the process, Te cares about the result. It is different from a Te-dom user, that focuses on simple, self-explanatory logic, the facts. They spit out common, basic, simple-minded logic and that makes most part of people understand it. The focus is not on creating his deep individual logic, but on the objective logic itself involving the majority of people around him. The text becomes huge so I cannot put Te-doms references, lol. But this one here is the main point: Extraverted Thinking Type 🛃) "Its judgment takes on a decided inherency-character, i.e. it entirely confines itself to the range of the given material, nowhere overstepping it."
